Fashion Notes.

Tulles are sparingly used for brides
dresses.
China Crepe is still use for brides and
bridesmaids costumes.
Rose pink tulle is the fancy of the hour
for bridesmaids dresses.
A becoming simplicity still exists on
children's and young girls clothing.
Shirring is still seen as finish for soft
woolens as well as for surahs and other
twills.
A pretty idea is to have the stockings
match in color the fancy slippers now so
fashionable.
Dull gold and oxydized silver braids
are used in decorating the newest Of
tailor gowns.
The single skirt is a fashion which bids
fair to be a popular one and it is surely
very sensible.
Round hats still have very simple
trimming in quill feathers and a large
bow of plaid ribbon.
Braided jockets in Battenberg cloth are
worn with ovcrskirts of the same mate
rial, over velvet or plush.
v short wrap of velvet, heavy with
jets, is the last pretty wrap, and may be
worn with a variety of costumes.
The plain, long drapcries which one
sees in the new costumes arc especially
graceful and becoming to good figures.
Braided bonnets are very stylish, made
of the same cloth as the costume, and in
brides travelling costumes nothing can
be prettier.
Plush garments for winter wear are al
ways pretty, and are quite the leading
style in the late importations of rich gar
mcnts and wraps.
Round hats are more favored than
bonncts to wear with travelling suits, and
are of felt trimmed with velvet or with
plaid moire ribbon.
Steel gray, London smoke or fawn-col-
ored faced cloth, trimmed with oxidized
silver braid, are usually chosen by brides
for travelling dresses.
Black velvet corset belts are exclusive
ly worn with colored dresses. They arc
pointed at the top, both back and front,
and finished at the waist with lappets.
The Greek style of hair dressing, OF
what is known as the Psyche knot, is
rapidly losing favor as but few ladies can
bear the test of this severe style CT coif-
fure.
Pearls are much favored at the present
time. The earrings are very large, and
invariably composed of single large
pearl, with the setting as inconspicuous
as possible.
White undresscd kid gloves are worn
with bridal toilets. All gloves for even
wear arc long enough to meet the sleeves,
but are worn more smoothly on the arms
than heretofore.
Fancy hosiery is very generally worn.
Lace and open work stockings are again
quite the chic thing in hoisery and are in
every conceivable shade to correspond
with the new colors in dress goods.
Black is now used in combination with
and to trim everything. This will be
welcome news to many ladies of limited
means, as it does away with many ac-
cessories once considered indispensable.
The fashion Of making the striped
cloths with the stripes in the petticoats
running round and those of the over
dress from up to down is a pretty one,
and gives dressy effect to costume so
made.
Wooden buttons in beautiful colorings
and grainings are shown this season.
There are many varieties, but none so
beautiful as the fragrant satin wood,
tulip wood and olive, with their artistic
natural tints of green browns.
Costumes of corded silk, India CASH
mere, wool canvas and vigogne, in steel,
serpent, gray, plum and dove color, are
in high favor, and are charming in effect.
Silk plush is used to combine with the
silk, and moire of darker shade with
fine WoOlenS,
